Horror movies that dont deserve to called Horror. (Page 1 of 2)

Jaws.  And I don't even care that I'm going to catch shit for it.

A bunch of sci-fi stuff, like Aliens & Cloverfield.

And the reason Lon isn't scared by Jaws is that he routinely jumps into the ocean for the express purpose of punching sharks for fun.

^ lol

I sometimes see Battle Royale in horror lists. I love the movie, but it ain't a horror movie to me.

Oh, she and I have had that discussion a number of times already, thanks. 

Jaws- More of a thriller
Alien- Sci-Fi Action with suspense

I think the first Alien fits nicely into the horror category, but like Azzie, I think Aliens and the other sequels are straight sci-fi.

ms gorefiend you are really endearing yourself to me if you look back at my previous posts about " The Blair Witch Project" you will see i don't like it much. over rated, over hyped and boring most of the way and not one likeable character. be warned once i get attached i'm like a limpet
you watch it as well HQ i know you like women but i can wear a wig!
and finally don't worry about ghosty he's a pussycat.

Ok...I do have to say something after a few posts knocking Blair Witch.  First of all, at most, people here are pretty evenly divided on Blair Witch, but I'd guess more people here hate it than like it.  So, no one is going to bash anyone for dissing it.  I would more likely get bashed for supporting it. 

Also, keep in mind, this Thread isn't about horrible movies, or bad movies, or over hyped movies, its about movies that are considered horror that people think aren't.  Not that I'm suggesting people need to stick to topic...just sayin.

Now, if you don't think Blair Witch is horror, I don't care, and agree a case could be made its not, though I would put it there.

However, if you are going to say its not horror, you should at least be fair about it.  No it is not just kids running around the woods crying.  There was much more than that, including the bloody parts showing up, the creepy noises (maybe just to me), the attack at the tent, and then the ending. 

Again, I am NOT arguing it should be considered horror, or that people should like it, just saying hating it does not mean its not horror.  Though I do think there are movies that people consider horror that have a lot less than Blair Witch.

I could say Friday isn't horror because its just kids having sex in cabins and telling legends...and that wouldn't be factual either, it would just be a way for me to knock the movie.

Ok...let the Blair Witch bashing carry on.

I got yo' back, dawg.  We won't have any bashing.  Respect each other, even if you disagree.

Ghostie makes a good point.  Remember what this topic is about -- which movies you don't think should be called horror.  Not liking a movie has nothing to do with whether it's horror or not.

Carry on.
